Since 1933, Davenport College (referred to as D’Port by its residents) has been the collegiate household of people such as George Bush (Sr. and W.), Stephen Schwarzman, and Samantha Power. Currently, Davenport holds the Gimbel Cup (awarded to the Residential College with the best overall average GPA) and the Sheffield Prize Cup (awarded to the Residential College with the highest standing in scholarship in science, mathematics and engineering). D’Port’s the only Residential College to ever earn all three Cups in the same year–the Gimbel, the Sheffield Prize, and the Tyng Cup (for highest standing in intramural sports)–and this was just three years ago. So, what awesome things are happening in Davenport this week?

Davenport World Wide

This week in the arts, the sketch comedy group, Red Hot Poker, and the improvisation troop, Viola Question, had a joint show in Morse/Stiles theater. The show featured Davenport’s own Charlie Lee in Red Hot Poker . Both groups killed the performance having the crowd roaring with laughter with their many sketches and skits.

There are not many upcoming arts performances in the next two weeks because most Davenporters will be on SPRANG BREAKKKKK! However, many vocally talented Davenporters are heading off in planes, trains, and cars to sing their hearts out around the world. Eva Branson, Allie Bensinger, Summer Kim, and Emily Everlith are heading off to Italy and London representing Something Extra and most importantly Davenport in Europe. Haley Mitchell-Adams and Emil Beckford are taking a road trip to Toronto representing Mixed Company. Camille Arboles is heading to Boston with Shades of Yale. Charlie Musoff, George Castillo, and Sammy Burton are flying to Miami then road tripping all the way back to New Haven. Cara Washington and Amrita Iyer are road tripping to Washington D.C. and back. Safe travels and healthy voices to all of our D-Porters!
